Bibliography

Explains: - the process of testing for the performance tests; - the benefits of high alumina cement lining; - the definitions of the different types/levels of attestation to enable customers to ensure their requirements are fulfilled; - the ways of certification of conformity with EN 598 for a reliable evaluation of the performance of products; - CE marking and its relevance i.e. the CE mark is not a mark of conformity with a standard but only a self-declaration concerning the CPD essential requirements.

EN 598 specifies the requirements and associated test methods applicable to ductile iron pipes, fittings, accessories and their joints for the construction of drains and sewers outside buildings:

• operating without pressure (gravity sewerage), or with positive or negative pressure;

• to be installed below or above ground;

• to convey surface water, domestic waste water and certain types of industrial effluents, either in separate systems or in combined systems.

This technical report:

• explains in more detail the process of testing for the performance tests;

• explains in more detail the benefits of high alumina cement lining;

• explains in more detail the definitions of the different types/levels of attestation to enable customers to ensure their requirements are fulfilled;

• explains in more detail the ways of certification of conformity with EN 598 for a reliable evaluation of the performance of products;

• explains in more detail CE marking and its relevance i.e. the CE mark is not a mark of conformity with a standard but only a self-declaration concerning the CPD essential requirements.

In order to make the use of this Technical Report easier, the clauses of this document refer to the corresponding clause numbers in EN 598.
